Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that can hold a lot of unshelled blades and quickly and safely dispense them one by one with one hand. This makes it easier to use and more efficient.

Problems solved by technology

However, known dispensers do not provide a cost effective means to allow for unshelled blades to be quickly and easily dispensed therefrom with minimal effort and in a safe manner (i.e., handling the sharp blade from the blade backing).

second embodiment

[0039]FIG. 8 is an exploded view of a blade dispenser assembly 100 of the present invention. The assembly includes a housing 112, a pusher 116, a spring 120 and a closure 114. As shown in FIG. 9, the spring 120 is directly contactable with the pusher 116 and arranged between a first flange 176 and a second flange 180 that extend outwardly from the front wall 160 of the pusher 116. A spool is not required to secure the spring 120 to the pusher 116. Through constant force, the spring 120 remains in contact with the pusher 116 and ensures the blades B easily removeable one at a time through the gap 134 formed in the housing 112.

third embodiment

[0040]FIGS. 10-12 illustrate a blade dispenser of the present invention designated hereafter as reference number 200. As shown in FIGS. 10-12, the constant force spring 220 directly contacts blades B arranged in a housing 212, applying constant pressure on the blades B and directing the blades B away from the closure 224 and toward a front wall 230 of the housing 212 to ensure that the blades B are easily removable through a gap 234 formed in the front wall 230.

[0041]The constant force spring 221 includes a curved front end 290 for attachment to a recess 223 formed in a top wall 225 of the housing 212 and the spring 220 has a width that is greater than the curved front end 290 and greater than the overall width of the constant force spring 20 that contacts the pusher 16 in FIG. 1. The spring 220 aids in moving the blades B forward for removal from the housing 212 utilizing tracks, including a first track 225 and a second track 227 that extend inwardly from a first sidewall 226 and a...

Abstract

A blade dispenser for housing a plurality of unshelled blades and dispensing the blades one at a time therefrom. The dispenser includes a housing that has tracks forming a guide, a dispensing slot at one end of the housing and a filling end at the other end of the housing, a pusher that is mounted on the track within the housing, abuts the blades and is moveable from the filling end toward the dispensing slot to aid in dispensing the blades and a spring that is located within the housing and engages the pusher and the housing and biases the pusher and the blades toward the dispensing slot.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates generally to a single edge blade dispenser and more specifically to a blade dispenser that allows for unshelled blades to be dispensed therefrom, one at a time.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Blade dispensers are well-known in the art. One known dispenser, for example, is U.S. Pat. No. 5,251,783, which is directed to a blade dispenser that includes a housing and a carrier that also includes ratcheting members that interact with the ratcheting members of the housing to allow for movement of the carrier to dispense the blades. However, known dispensers do not provide a cost effective means to allow for unshelled blades to be quickly and easily dispensed therefrom with minimal effort and in a safe manner (i.e., handling the sharp blade from the blade backing).SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present invention relates broadly to a dispenser that can hold a plurality of unshelled blades and quickly and efficiently dispense them, one at...
